We are seeking to provide the Board of County Commissioners with:
1
Support
The public support needed to say “NO” to the mega landfill and “YES” to a Zero Waste plan.
2
Say No
To help the Haralson County Commissioners legally say no in a way that Solid Solutions cannot reverse on appeal.
3
Educate
To assist in educating Haralson和Polk县的当地居民讨论了回收堆肥的好处，希望这将为我们的专员提供所需的支持，以促进可回收收集的替代十大网投在线入口解决方案和其他关键项目.

Reasons To Care…
Landfill IMPACTS:
Health & 垃圾填埋空气污染:科学研究证明，垃圾填埋气体对健康的各种影响延伸至垃圾填埋方圆两英里. These gases can cause a slight increase in cancer, birth defects and other more severe adverse health effects. A 2011 study documented the following lesser, though nonetheless unacceptable adverse health effects are far more probable: odors so bad windows cannot be opened; burning eyes, nose and throat; headaches; nausea; and dizziness. 安装在现代十大网投在线入口的气体收集处理系统可能会减少对健康的不利影响，但程度不得而知. Also, these systems have failed at Georgia landfills. 2020年的一篇文章讲述了佐治亚州切诺基县派恩布拉夫十大网投在线入口的这种失败
Well & Stream Pollution:
When water passes through decomposing landfill waste a toxic leachate is formed . 研究记录了十大网投在线入口渗滤液中的133种化学物质，这些化学物质可能对人类和水生资源的健康构成威胁. 乔治亚州的法律规定，十大网投在线入口的选址必须距离主要供水井至少两英里. 在固体解决方案公司提议的十大网投在线入口两英里范围内，可能有500个或更多的家庭(见下页地图)。. 这些家庭中的大多数都是水井，很容易受到污染. To prevent contamination of ground and surface waters, modern landfills have impermeable caps, liners, leachate collection-treatment systems and monitoring wells. Since leachate may forever remain toxic, these systems must work for decades. Unfortunately, system failures do occur. A 2020 article noted such a failure at a landfill near Augusta, GA.
Noise Impacts of Landfills, Transfer Stations, Etc.:
Sound that disturbs the peacefulness of your home is an apt description of noise. 堆填区和废物转运站发出的噪音过大，让人难以放松, concentrate or share a conversation with others. Early morning or late-night noise can disrupt sleep. With regard to landfills and transfer stations, 最常见的噪音来自备用蜂鸣器和重型卡车车身碰撞时尾门发出的撞击声. Public address systems are occasionally another source of noise. 进出垃圾处理设施的卡车发出的噪音会影响更多的地区居民.
In a 2010 report, 美国国家工程院将备用寻呼机列为与行为和情感后果相关的六大噪声源之一. 备用寻呼机和砰地一声撞尾排在联邦交通部的首位 list of nighttime construction noise sources.
Increased Traffic:
Landfills and transfer stations generate a tremendous amount of truck traffic. 重型卡车交通的增加会降低财产价值，增加事故和噪音. 当卡车流量增加时，噪音本身就会大大降低物业价值. The noise from heavy truck traffic lowers property value at a rate 30 to 50 times greater than cars. 这是因为在50英尺高的地方，重型卡车发出的噪音是汽车的16倍. 虽然大型卡车只占登记车辆的4%，但它们涉及的车辆却占9% fatal crashes.
In a 2008 study, 研究人员指出，沿着将垃圾运送到地区市政十大网投在线入口的卡车行驶的路线，癌症风险增加. However, the increase was one additional cancer case per 39 million people.
